"Navigating the NDIS Capacity Building Supports Budget: What You Need to Know"

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is designed to provide individuals with disabilities the support they need to live fulfilling lives. One crucial aspect of the NDIS is the Capacity Building Supports Budget. At Proactive Plan Managers, we want to help you understand this budget category and how you can use it to achieve your goals.


What is the Capacity Building Supports Budget?

The Capacity Building Supports Budget is one of the three main budget categories in your NDIS plan, alongside Core Supports and Capital Supports. This budget is specifically allocated to help you build your independence and skills, enabling you to reach your long-term goals.


Key Areas of Capacity Building Supports:


  • Assists you in understanding and implementing your NDIS plan, connecting with service providers, and ensuring your supports are working effectively together.


  • Helps you find and secure suitable accommodation, ensuring your living environment supports your needs and goals.


  • Funds activities and programs that help you engage in community, social, and recreational activities, promoting social inclusion and personal development.


  • Provides support for employment-related goals, including job training, assistance with finding work, and support to maintain employment.


  • Offers support for developing positive behaviors and interacting effectively with others, which can include therapy and counseling services.


  • Covers activities and services aimed at improving your physical and mental health, such as exercise programs, dietary advice, and therapy.


  • Assists with educational pursuits, including tutoring, support for attending courses, and skill development.


  • Helps with plan management to ensure you can manage your NDIS funding effectively and independently.


  • Supports training and development to increase your ability to perform daily tasks independently, such as cooking, cleaning, and personal care.


How to Make the Most of Your Capacity Building Supports Budget:

Set Clear Goals:

  • Define what you want to achieve with your capacity-building supports. Clear goals help you direct your funding towards the most impactful activities and services.


Regularly Review Your Plan:

  • Your needs and goals may change over time, so it’s important to review your plan regularly and make adjustments as needed. This ensures your supports remain aligned with your aspirations.


Engage Qualified Providers:

  • Choose service providers who are experienced and qualified in delivering the supports you need. This can make a significant difference in the quality and effectiveness of the services you receive.


Utilize Community Resources:

  • Explore local community resources and programs that may complement your NDIS-funded supports. Community engagement can enhance your capacity-building efforts.
